Discontinuing a Package

Sometimes a package is created that does not actually exist or is created in a way that cuts off the test results through an incorrect production batch. When this occurs it is possible to discontinue the package, however, this must be done before there are any sales, transfers or adjustments are recorded against the package. Discontinuing the package will move the package tag into your "inactive packages" tab and will send the quantity of the package back into the originating package or harvest.

For example, I have a harvest batch from which I want to create packages of flower and shake/trim. When I create the first package, I accidentally create a concentrate instead of flower: Create Package Wrong Item

When I go back to finish my harvest, I see I have my one package, but the package information is wrong: Wrong Package Item

Because the package is just sitting there with no activity, I can discontinue the package by clicking the black X on the far right column, then confirming the response when asked by Metrc if I want to discontinue. Discontinue

Once the package is discontinued you can find the package tag in your inactive tab and you can verify that the weight of the harvest has been restored: Discontinued Inactive
Harvest After Package
